How we look after it
Nothing goes out unchecked.
Washed and dried after every trip.
Wetsuits, drysuits, harnesses and ropes are washed, hung in our drying loft, inspected and logged when they come back.
Serviced in our own workshop.
We service the bikes ourselves between groups, with tools and spare parts for every model on the shelf.
Tracked and retired on time.
Safety gear is logged piece by piece and retired on schedule. The kayaks are replaced and rotated on a four-year cycle.
01 · Sea kayaking
46 boats, 71 paddler seats.
A working fleet, replaced and rotated on a four-year cycle. Every boat is rigged for guided trips: deck lines, day hatches, towlines and a deck-mounted compass. Most are singles; the two-seat Prijon Excursion EVO is our workhorse for groups of mixed ability.

The names on the kit
We pick the boring, durable stuff.
We don’t chase the newest colours. The brands below have been on our shelves for a decade or more, chosen because they survive a Greek summer, a rocky launch and 200 trips a year, and because their spare parts are easy to find on a Tuesday afternoon in Kalamata.
